I have not claimed in any way that we become gods. I have said that God has invited us to be family - so we pray to God as our Dad, and we can approach Jesus as our brother...which suggests we don’t have any reason to go to Him thru Mary, or to fear His judgment.

Jesus is not our brother. He is our Lord and Saviour. In order for him to be our brother we would have to be God. Jesus states that we are to become part of the Christian family and we can consider God as our Father - which is for our benefit in understanding the differences between Him and the pagan gods.
But for what you state, we must be equals to God and I for one do not even begin to start to consider thinking about acquiring a Godhood for myself.
